Day 2 in Barcelona! We find a free walking tour which we have discovered are the best thing ever since they are usually catered to young backpackers. The walking tour through Barri Gotic is great and the guide is hilarious. He convinces us to sign up for a tapas and flamenco event tonight. We also become friends with a couple from Florida and go to lunch and churros with them. It's so great to hear American English! British, Australian, and Kiwi English are highly overrated. After some Sangria for lunch Jessie and I head to the Salvador Dali exhibit which was really cool. Not most of his really famous pieces, but they had a huge collection. After this back to the hostel to rest up and get ready for the night.
Unfortunately just as we are leaving the hostel it starts to really rain, so it's time to use our handy umbrellas. We get to dinner with unlimited sangria and some really great tapas. Not the most traditional, but Jessie will eat them which I am thankful for. We make friends with another American - 3 in 1 day, from Portland and hang out with her for the evening. After Tapas and Sangria we head to the Flamenco show. Great style of dance and the music was wonderful. 2 Spanish guitars, bass, percusion, and traditional vocalist. The dancers were great. After this it is time to head home as the sangria has most definitely gotten the best of us. More Gaudi and the beach tomorrow!
